physiological function | the enzyme can influence astrocyte plasticity through receptor-dependent mechanisms. Recombinant Klk6 evokes increases in intracellular Ca2+ in primary astrocyte monolayer cultures through activation of proteinase activated receptor 1 (PAR1). Klk6 promotes a condensation of astrocyte cortical actin leading to an elongated stellate shape and multicellular aggregation in a manner that is dependent on the presence of either PAR1 or PAR2. Klk6-evoked changes in astrocyte shape are accompanied by translocation of beta-catenin from the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm | Mus musculus |
